Is the train simulator 2015 dlc worth it? It's on sale for $1,931.15 for everything.

Oh, Endless Legend and Dynasty Warriors 8.

Endless legend is pretty good if you like civ.

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

Sad. Another 24 hours I have to wait to spend money.

 

[Hupsel]

I want Grimrock 2 and Kentucky

 

[swx]

i'm going to mount my friends!!

Dynasty Warriors 8 port impressions, anyone?

Bought it at launch and ran just fine, 60fps the whole time on my PC.

 

[plc268]

This is the first sale where I haven't known immediately if the prices have updated yet. I know people try to defend this thing, but that's some damning evidence right there.

The whole "you already own everything" argument is wrong. The sales just aren't appealing as they used to be, and discounts aren't as deep. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone with hard numbers comparing this sale to previous sales yet.

 

[Zia]

Has Saints Row IV been cheaper than $5? Finished Red Faction Guerrilla and need another stupid open world game to play.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Dynasty Warriors 8 port impressions, anyone?

It's good enough, except for online-play getting pulled.

Also nothing was really done about the textures, so the visuals are crazy inconsistent.
More than worth it for DW fans though. Loads of content and holds 60 fps unlike the console versions.

How does local coop in Dynasty Warriors 8 work?

Also, lol at this: 189,80€ Add all DLC to Cart
I assume none of it is essential?

 

[sealprime]

Is Endless Legend any good?

 

[Sinatar]

Endless Legend and TWD Season 2 for me today.

 

[_woLf]

Is there any realistic chance of the Clickteam Fusion engine going on a deeper sale than the 66% off it is now?

I'm really annoyed that a benchmark program beat it out for community choice

Base game is a few trains and tracks, most of the DLC is trains. There are a few tracks that you might consider 'iconic' though... however none of it is essential.

Mount Your Friends

My first non-Metal Gear purchase of the sale.

edit: Do I want Chivalry?

 

[Piercedveil]

No clue here but I have an i5 3570k and a GTX 970, and the game ran fine when I still had my Radeon 6950, so I'll see if I can fire it up tonight and verify its performance.

Nope, I've got that exact same PC specs and ETS 2 runs like a banshee with maxed settings and Nvidia Inspector options cranked way up. I'm on Win7 by the way.

Thanks guys. I'll google around a bit more. I have no idea what would be causing this. I'm on Windows 8.1 but I imagine it would be more widely known if there were any problems with that.

 

[Deadstar]

Is Endless Legend any good?

Endless legend is very fun. It's like CIV but fantasy and with some different elements. Your units rank up rather than transforming.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

No discount for DW8 DLC. Bleh....

 

[Purkake4]

Wow, the community choice has been straight trash, I'd boycott it if it didn't give me cards.

 

[Wonko_C]

I passed on Valkyria Chronicles and MGR Revengeance Dailies because I'm waiting for the games from my wishlist to become Dailies or Flash Sales (KickBeat, Trails in The Sky, Freedom Planet, Child of Light, KOF XIII and Bunny Must Die come ooon), none of them have made it yet.

At this rate I'm going to wait for the last day encore sale to get VK and Revengeance, and I'll probably bite for Freedom Planet, Kickbeat and BMD at their current discount if they don't make Daily.

Nope.

edit: Do I want Chivalry?

If you like fun games than yes

 

[jaundicejuice]

Is Endless Legend any good?

It's a pretty interesting 4x game. The factions are asymmetrical in their playstyles, there's an interesting quest system, sub-factions to fight and win over for various unique units and empire wide bonuses, the lore is a mash-up of fantasy and the sci-fi of Endless Space and Endless Legend has an interesting concept of having territories that can only have a single city settled in them.

 

[MadClacker]

Opinion on Saints 4?

 

[gabbo]

Wow, the community choice has been straight trash, I'd boycott it if it didn't give me cards.

So of the trash, which should I vote for, since I could not care less about any of them.

Opinion on Saints 4?

Buy it. great, ridiculous game

 

[Duress]

Get Mount Your Friends, for the sake, of having it show on your friends list.

[Haunted]

Worst back-to-back community votes I've seen in any Steam sale. oy vey

 

[demosthenes]

3DMark for $5 seems like the only interesting sale today.

Yay! Bought!

 

[Bronetta]

Worst Steam sale in the past 5 years.

So disappointed.

 

[Dascu]

Worst back-to-back community votes I've seen in any Steam sale. oy vey

Screw game curation, how about we institute a Steam user Greenlight system?

 

[DukeBobby]

Hmm, I might pick up 3DMark and The Walking Dead Season 2.

I don't think I urgently need either of them, though.

 

[Molemitts]

Just got Tabletop Simulator. All I need to do now is to convince friends to buy it, too.

 

[Lain]

The fact a lot of DLC isn't benefiting from a game's discount is probably the worst part of this sale.

 

[Sch1sm]

Wow, the community choice has been straight trash, I'd boycott it if it didn't give me cards.

I literally have no idea what to vote for here. I'm getting less cards than usual considering I haven't spent more than $12.08 so far, and I don't plan on buying a thing today either.

 

[Crzy1]

Was hoping ClickTeam Fusion would win the community vote. Would like to play around with it, but even $20 might have been a bit much for me. Still no Lords of the Fallen, either. Underwhelmed with everything on offer, so far, nothing that has really wowed me, but then again I already have a lot of the games on offer in my library.

 

[-MD-]

Opinion on Saints 4?

Snoozefest.

Worth 5 bucks if it interests you I guess.

 

[Zeeman]

Wow, the community choice has been straight trash, I'd boycott it if it didn't give me cards.

Vote for the bus!

 

[VisceralBowl]

You know your sale's bad when neither of the Steam OTs have passed 45 pages.

 

[Tizoc]

Worst Steam sale in the past 5 years.

So disappointed.

That's what we said about the last steam sale. Then the last days rolled in and it was the greatest :v

 

[Tart Toter 9k]

Hatoful Boyfriend and Castle of Illusion HD are on sale on GMG and both can be had for under $3 each.

Use the code WINTER-SALE20-GROGRE to get another 20% off. Hatoful at 2$ yo!

 

[careksims]

Yeah the sales have been so bad. I haven't even bought anything. Not tempted by any of it so far.

 

[Amneisac]

Opinion on Saints 4?

Not as good as SR3 was, a little boring. I loved SR3, didn't finish 4.

 

[tmarques]

I refused to buy the orion game since the asshole dev was stealing models from other games and using them in promotional material.

I'd never heard of the game, but the idea of increasing its discount from 25% to 50% when the game already costs one frigging dollar is hysterical.

 

[Gunblade47]

Saints Row 4 as someone who's never played the series, yay or nay?

Nevermind... ty Ameisac.

 

[Panda Rin]

That Endless Legend soundtrack is good. Think I'll pick it up during the summer sale.

 

[Mister Negative]

Not as good as SR3 was, a little boring. I loved SR3, didn't finish 4.

Agreed. 4 is very, very meh. I think the plot they went with really limited the game.

 

[Chariot]

Saints Row 4 as someone who's never played the series, yay or nay?

Eh, get Saints Row 3 first and look if you like that. SRIV takes the Third to a new level in both good and bad ways, 3 is much more saver for your entertainment value.

 

[garath]

Looks like Dungeon of the Endless is on sale with the Endless series. I've had that on my wishlist for a bit. Is that any good?

That Prison Architect and 3dMark are probably my only purchases so far this entire sale

 

[RyanPierre]

The sales just aren't appealing as they used to be, and discounts aren't as deep. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone with hard numbers comparing this sale to previous sales yet.

I'd love to see someone do an analysis of the various sales based on the numbers. Would be interesting to see what kind of differences there are between the years and if there's any kind of trend.

 

[The Shogun]

Whats the word on Dynasty Warriors 8? Is the game any good? Haven't played a Dynasty Warriors in years and thinking about picking it up.
